Mary Kills People (Season 2; Episode 1): Helping the healthy to die
This season picks up where the last season left off, with Desmond in prison and Mary carrying on helping people die. In many ways, this show has lost its edge since assisted suicide is now legal in California (where the show appears to take place) and Canada (since we see Mary with a Canadian passport). Desmond quickly is paroled and Mary brings him on a case.… (Source: blog.bioethics.net)

5 must-haves for great physician online profiles
Patients have a lot of choices when it comes to physicians. Making sure your online profile is up to date, complete, and contains these five items will improve the chances that a website visitor will become a patient.
Create a personal connection. Having good rapport with patients is important, and that process starts before patients ever walk in the door.
How often have you seen a physician bio that only contains a single, humanizing detail in the last sentence: “Dr. John lives in Washington, DC with his wife, Karen.” Some physicians may be hesitant to provide personal info, that shouldn’t stop you from soundin...

Electronic Skin Heals Thyself While Measuring Pressure, Temperature, Humidity
Researchers from the University of Colorado Boulder have developed an “electronic skin” that is able to heal itself when damaged, and when no longer needed it can be fully recycled. E-skins can provide new capabilities in the form of medical and athletic devices, as well as mimic tactile and other sensing within advanced prostheses.
The new self-healing e-skin can measure pressure applied on its surface, temperature, humidity, and even air flow. It’s made of polyimine, a newly developed covalently bonded dynamic network polymer that has silver nanoparticles throughout. The silver acts as an electrical co...

Weird and Wild: Back Piercing and Langers’ Lines
A patient presented to the emergency department with a request to remove her back ring. Yes, that's right, her back ring. We were a bit confused at first by the piercing. The stud was placed in her back with no obvious way of removal. Our original thought was to send the patient to dermatology or even plastic surgery. The piercing certainly didn't qualify for emergency surgery or removal.A 23-year-old woman with a back piercing in the left lower back. The underlying skin condition is not infectious. This is a classic example of tinea versicolor, and is not related to the piercing. It is a common fungal infectio...

Six weeks ago, I was diagnosed with invasive breast cancer.
As a breast cancer and breast plastic surgeon, I see women all the time who are in the exact same place I’ve been since receiving the phone call from the pathologist. Shocked and terrified by the news, overwhelmed by what this is going to mean for their life in both the short- and the long-term, waiting for results from what seems like endless tests that could significantly change their treatment options. When talking about my practice, I would tell people that my goal was to provide the kind of personalized, high-touch care that I would want to have if I we...
